Today’s photo was made from the observation balcony at Vulcan Park. The park sits atop Red Mountain just south of downtown Birmingham. My intent was to take some shots of the city as the light was fading after sunset, hoping to get some nice photographs as the lights were coming on. The view of the city was obscured by a thick haze. The dull light offered little contrast to make the image pop. I have limited experience shooting at this time of day especially in these conditions so it was interesting to try and see what I could capture. In this photograph, you are looking northward into Birmingham.
There is nothing of interest to note in the image processing. I played around with several filters but decided to leave the image natural with only minor color correction and enhancement.
